I refuse to make fun of dietary restrictions after spending five years as a waiter rolling my eyes at gluten free people and then developing a gluten intolerance.

The universe is a tricky bitch. It gave me a literal pain in the ass.

You can be annoyed by gluten bad gluten free while recognizing the real pain of celiacs.

Just because it isn’t a visible disease does not mean everyone is in the right.

Show threadGodric4d ago
I once had a buddy with Celiac’s, it was interesting trying to find a restaurant that worked for us both. The tide of hipsters wanting everything gluten free was a godsend!
Show threadryannathans4d ago
FYI it’s just Celiac disease, or they are a celiac, no 's
Show threadthree3d ago
FYI you should use punctuation, such as a period, at the end of a sentence to let your readers know the thought is complete.
Show threadFinjaminPoach4d ago
Nah I guarantee NOBODY is going through the gluten free diet unless they really believe there might be a chance they’re allergic. And you have to go gluten free for a bit to see if you are.
Show threadGladaed4d ago
No you don’t, not for celiac. It’s symptoms are debilitating.
Show threadGrail4d ago
It’s possible to be delibitated and not know why. Until you stop eating gluten and get better. You should watch House MD, House is always using the treatment as the test. He tries something and sees if the patient gets better. Many of those patients are dying and he still doesn’t know what they have until he tries a treatment.
Show threadFooBarrington3d ago
House is in no way a realistic medical show
Show threadGrail3d ago
Are you saying doctors don’t give patients treatments for unknown diseases to see if they’ll work?
Show threadCoolCat3d ago
It’s obvious you’ve never had to go through this because generally no, that does not happen often.
Show threadGrail3d ago
Well My doctors say “take this and we’ll see if it works” all the time.
Show threadCoolCat3d ago
Good for you, but that doesn’t mean it happens often though
Show threadFooBarrington3d ago
Not the way House does!
Show threadNannerBanner3d ago
I remember a medical friend rolling his eyes at the show when it was airing, because usually he could guess what the end diagnosis could be from the symptoms. House was just really good at making the drama about the doctor interject and extend the eyeball time into the hour long episode

^ This.

  • There’s coeliac which is the most easily identifiable,
  • a generalised gluten allergy, which - last time i checked - needs you to stay off/stay on gluten consumption for a week leading up to a blood test
  • allergy to one specific grain like wheat, but not all gluten.
  • and there are people who just have really bad digestive issues but have found that going gluten free helps.

We should have more sympathy for people who have to grapple with this shitty, under-researched allergy.

I just don’t get why people think they’re allowed to be mad at someone for what they order. They would choose the yummy gluten snacks if they weren’t struggling to eat something good for them.

Show threadangrystego3d ago
I know a case like that. He was unfortunate enough to have doctors that were unable to diagnose him properly. When he started the diet in his thirties and his absolutely debilitating health condition got a lot better in so many ways, it was such a relief!
Show threadGladaed3d ago
Yeah, but that’s not the gluten allergy.
Show threadangrystego3d ago
The guy I was talking about in the first paragraph was a celiac.
Show threadGladaed3d ago
I was talking about the second.
Show threadangrystego3d ago
That was meant as another example of people for whom trying the diet can be relevant.
Show threadandros_rex3d ago

Eh, you haven’t worked in food service.

What always sent me was the people who ordered gravy after telling me they were gluten sensitive…

I immediately sent this to my boomer parents on WhatsApp after I found this and they think it is hilarious

Has anyone stopped to consider how the grass might feel about this? I didn’t think so.
Show threadRemember_the_tooth4d ago
That’s why I only eat prokaryotes.
Show threadGodric4d ago
Have you ever stopped to think about how prokaryotes feel about that arrangement? That’s why I only eat silicates
Show threadRemember_the_tooth4d ago
Ain’t no good prokaryote 'cept one that’s enslaved or dead. Those freaky little bastards don’t even have organelles or a nucleus. MRSA, Botulism, Anthrax…we’ve been at war for billions of years. Long will I have been in the cold, cold ground before I recognize prokaryote rights.
Show threadangrystego3d ago
Single cell cyanonacteria ftw though! They bow to no one, they’re self sufficient, they don’t enslave or eat others.
Show threadFinjaminPoach4d ago
If only it was that easy. More fruit trees in cities for instance.

Vegans can eat just about anywhere. Feel bad for the carnivore friend who just has to stay hungry until you see a roadkill animal.
Show threadGodric4d ago
This one time roadtripping, my vegan buddy stopped 4 separate times for a snack, while I didn’t see so much as a squirrel pancake for 14 hours. Unfair!
Show threadcriss_cross4d ago

I got lucky and found a dead skunk I could chew on.

My loser vegan friend missed out!!!

Do you live in the Beastars universe?
Show threadnymnympseudonym4d ago
This summer? Who the fuck is going to be able to afford gad for roadtripping?
Show threadGodric4d ago

Uhhhhhh, fuck, can’t you read???

Clearly we who can split it between roadkill and roadsalds!
